La Petite Jerusalem (?Little Jerusalem,? 2005). La Petite Jerusalem is the nickname of Sarcelles, a low-income housing neighborhood near Paris. Among the high number of Jewish immigrants who live there, a Tunisian family of eight shares a cramped apartment: Laura (a French-born, 18-year-old student), her sister Mathilde, their mother, Mathilde?s husband Ariel, and the couple?s four children. In her first feature film, Karin Albou delicately depicts the intimate lives of two women while raising questions of religious
interpretation, freedom, sexuality and family relationships. Director-writer, Karin Albou, SACD Screenwriting Award, Cannes Film Festival (2005).
